SEQUIM — “Fall Landscaping for Birds,” the first in the series of 10 classes in “Backyard Birding,” will take place at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, Railroad Bridge Park from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.
The cost of each session at the center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, is $5. Sessions are free for those younger than 18.
Joe Holtrop, executive director of the Clallam Conservation District, will present important aspects of a bird-friendly yard, including food, water and shelter, with emphasis on the use of plants native to this area.
The series of classes, hosted by members of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society (OPAS), is intended for residents of the area who are interested in knowing more about birds seen locally each season of the year and learning how to develop good habitats for wild birds.
“Backyard Birding” can be taken either as individual classes or in a series.
After the completion of five sessions, participants will be offered free membership in OPAS for one year.
The next presentation, slated for Nov. 12, will be “Being a Birder” by Denny Van Horn.
